Notes:

Hello all,  from a windswept Steve……barely hanging onto his golf trolley.

South Winchester normally features a South Westerly breeze which plays into your face on the long par 5s 7th and 12th. That’s what makes them fairly difficult.

Not in 2018…..!!!!!!   a North Easterly hurricane meant that both could be reached comfortably. Two of IHGS managed to be pin high in TWO  on the 7th. MattK  managing something over a 400 yard drive; leaving just 165 yards to the pin.

Not so easy on the 8th ………driving into the wind.  Hmmm – about a 4 club wind I reckon.

 

Thanks to the organiser, Andy Murphy.
